>> It seems like the scope of the class is OK for the preview, but goes away when it prints. This happens whether I call the method directly and display a return result (ei oReports.GetNumber()) or refer to a property (ei oReports.ThisNumber). I am using VFP 5.0. Any ideas? - Ed

I didn't specify a scope for the object reference, so it would be the default. Maybe I'll try making it public. If the object has visibility with Preview, shouldn't it have the same visibility when you press the little printer button? Is there a difference in the way it is handled? - ED
